🔗 Share this article Operations Recommence at Scotland's Busiest Airport After Major ATC System Failure A systems problem at Edinburgh's air traffic control meant all flights could arrive or depart from the hub. Passenger services have resumed at Scotland's primary international airport after a substantial air traffic control outage brought the international hub to a standstill. Every arrival and departure were halted due to an IT issue that occurred at about 08:30. Some passengers reported being stuck in jets at the stand during the disruption. Operations Restart with Ongoing Delays Officials announced at 10:40 that flights had resumed, and thanked passengers for their "cooperation and patience". However, ongoing issues are anticipated to persist for some time. Services bound for London Gatwick, Bristol, Amsterdam and Frankfurt have been cancelled, with numerous other services subject to postponements. Officials had initially projected that 27 departures and 11 arrivals could be affected. "Flyers are asked to get in touch with their carrier for the current status on their specific flights," the statement added. Root of the Disruption The airport attributed the operational halt to an IT issue with its air traffic control provider. Passengers continue to be advised to check the status of their journey before traveling to the terminal as knock-on effects are cleared.
